Lamb Warning Given: Yes

Prior to my interview with the patient, I told the patient that I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner meeting with him/her for the purpose of treatment/evaluation. I also stated that if I ever need to testify in court about him/her, our conversations would not be privileged or confidential. I also told the patient that he/she did not have to participate in the interview that he/she could end the interview, and that he/she did not have to answer certain questions if he/she did not want to do so. The patient understood that I might be testifying in court at a future date.
